This document contains three parts: part 1 provides the framework of post-literacy; part 2 describes putting the learning strategies into action; and part 3 provides conclusions. In part 1, post-literacy is defined and learning strategies for post-literacy and continuing education are identified. In part 2, the following learning strategies are discussed: (1) using printed media, such as textbooks, supplementary reading materials, extension literature, and the rural or community press; (2) the use of radio, TV, and audiovisual media; (3) using distance education and correspondence courses; (4) rural libraries, mobile exhibitions, and museums; (5) traditional folk media and games; (6) local study and action groups; and (7) out-of-school programs, award-bearing schemes, institutions parallel to the school system, and other general and vocational nonformal courses. Part 3 includes two examples of the integrated use of learning strategies: Action for Popular Culture programs in Colombia and Village Continuing Education Centers in India. References and reading lists are included in each part. A glossary of terms and a listing of acronyms and abbreviations is provided. (CML)

The studies contained in this volume present a sampling of policy and legislation relating to adult learning in various parts of the world. They were produced in the context of a more complete survey, under the auspices of the UNESCO Institute for Education (UIE) in cooperation with the University of Florence, which sought to identify tendencies in this field over the past few years. The international research project, under which these of Paul national studies were made, was developed under the direction Belanger, Director of UIE, and Paolo Federighi, Professor at the University of Florence. An international publication by the two project directors, due to appear at the beginning of 1997, will report on the findings of the project, which involves 26 countries. The contributions presented here reflect a broad geographical spectrum as well as a wide range of policy models. From an analysis of these studies, it is apparent that this is a field in which there has been much innovation and which encompasses markedly varying approaches in response to different national conditions.
Fixing the Broken Promise of Education for All, published by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and UNICEF, presents the latest statistical evidence from administrative records and household surveys to better identify children who are out of school and the reasons for their exclusion from education.
